Serum BG levels (pg/ml) in patients with Pneumocystis pneumonia from HM, SOT, and SAIID subgroups. Black horizontal bars, median values. The median value for HM patients was 211 pg/ml (range, 31–2,771; interquartile range, 1,489 pg/ml). The median value for SOT patients was 3,473 pg/ml (range, 1,170–5,000; interquartile range, 2,013 pg/ml). The median value for SAIID patients was 3,480 pg/ml (range, 610–5,000; interquartile range, 2,515 pg/ml). Median BG level was significantly lower in the HM subgroup than in the SOT and SAIID subgroups (Bonferroni’s test, p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between SOT patients and SAIID patients. BG, (1,3)-β-D-glucan; HM, hematological malignancy; ns, non-significant; SAIID, systemic autoimmune and inflammatory disorder; and SOT, solid organ transplant.
